you've got it backwards: politics changes with the times and too many of us are intentionally taught to use the old definitions that stopped being applicable well before our great great grandparents died.

Nazi still has meaning today, but that doesnt stop people from calling any right wing extremist a nazi

Also, whats the point of creating more synonyms?

nazi is still new enough to hand on to its original definition; fascism isn't and doesn't.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
